I'm Lesley Ames, a psychic medium and animal communicator — and for many years, a proud Andersonville resident. My work combines compassionate listening, energetic insight, and grounded understanding, and Chicago shaped so much of who I am. The animal lovers I came to know in Andersonville, Lakeview, Lincoln Park, and beyond will always hold a special place in my heart. Though my journey has brought me to the Pacific Northwest, the spirit of Chicago never really left — and the magic of connecting online means I remain a neighbor to the clients and communities I care so deeply about.
Psychic sessions focus on uncovering the energies shaping your life, including patterns, emotional blocks, relationships, career questions, and personal purpose. These readings are intuitive, respectful, and designed to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Animal communication goes beyond behavior alone—it’s an intuitive exchange that tunes into your animal companion’s emotional and energetic experience. This work offers insight into stress, behavioral changes, emotional distress, or life transitions.
Whether your companion is living or has passed, pet psychic sessions can deepen your bond, strengthen understanding, and bring reassurance and peace.
Mediumship sessions allow you to receive messages from animal companions who have crossed over. These readings offer comfort, emotional closure, and honor the continued connection you share. Learn more about pet mediumship and grief support sessions.
All sessions are available online, allowing Chicago clients and clients nationwide to connect deeply from anywhere. Remote animal communication and psychic readings are just as effective as in-person sessions, providing insight, clarity, and spiritual connection without the need for travel.
Quick Clarity Session – 30 min | $85

Chicago isn't just a place I served — it's a place that shaped me. Years of living and working in Andersonville gave me a deep understanding of this city's warmth, its community bonds, and the profound love Chicagoans share with their animal companions. I carry that with me into every session.
Whether you're seeking clarity on your own life path, navigating a major transition, or wanting to better understand the animal companion by your side, sessions are warm, grounded, and tailored to you. Each reading meets you exactly where you are.
Whether you're in Andersonville, Wicker Park, Lincoln Square, the North Shore, or anywhere across Chicagoland, remote sessions via Zoom or phone make it easy to connect — and the distance doesn't diminish the depth. Some of my most meaningful sessions happen across thousands of miles.
Sessions are held via Zoom or phone — both psychic readings and animal communication sessions are available remotely, so whether you're in Chicago, the greater metro area, or anywhere across the U.S., you're welcome here.
Animal communication sessions can bring insight into your pet's emotional needs, behavioral shifts, anxiety, and life transitions — and yes, Lesley Ames works with all kinds of companions, from dogs and cats to birds, reptiles, and farm animals.
Each session is tailored to your pet's unique energy and personality. You can also combine a psychic reading with a pet psychic session — many clients find that exploring both together brings a much fuller picture of their shared connection.
No prior experience is needed. Sessions are designed for first-timers and experienced seekers alike.
For remote sessions, all you need is a quiet space, a few questions or intentions, and an open heart.
